Heath Ledger: Why, Why, Why?
None of his gifts, neither talent nor family, appears to have been enough to combat the demons that apparently led Heath to take the pills that could have ended his young life.
Reporting on the Dead
Until we know for sure how Heath Ledger died, I think the media should just shut their mouths and stop all the speculation that's been running rampant.
Heath Ledger's Tragic Overdose Death And What Can be Done To Prevent Others
There is nothing we can do to bring back the life of Heath Ledger. But we can learn from the tragedy and pass compassionate and sensible legislation to save thousands of others like him.
What We Can Learn from Heath Ledger's Death: Don't Mix Downs!!!
If I could only impart one lesson about reducing overdose risk, it would be this: Don't take "depressant" drugs -- drugs that make you calm or sleepy -- in combination with each other.
Heath Ledger And The Poem To Remember Him By
In the midst of the flurry of publicity--mostly distasteful--surrounding Heath Ledger's death, a humble but fitting poem reentered the national consci...
The Best Sean Connery Movies by Farr
As one surveys the life and career of Sean Connery before, during and after Bond, there is an important factor to this star's success: his native shrewdness and intelligence. Quite simply, he never undervalued himself.
The Westboro Baptist Church's First Foray Into Celebrity Funeral Protest: Condemning Heath Ledger

Why You Can't Admit You Hated The Dark Knight
Is Maggie Gyllenhaal supposed to be the character that Katie Holmes was in the last movie? If Batman's so powerful, doesn't he notice she's a different person? And why, whenever I hear Heath Ledger's voice, do I think of Carol Burnett?
Heath Ledger: Art, Loss and Celebrity
"Heath Ledger dead?" It strikes me as a little weird to feel a sense of loss for a person I've only come to know through the cinema. And yet, I still mourn him.
